Connie is an ordinary sailor. His sister is the mistress of a small supervisor of the cargo shipping company. This kind of thing is not very glorious. No one will take the initiative to show off.

However, he also got a good job, at least it is a legitimate job, which can give him a stable income and prevent his family from eating relief food every day.

Originally, this is a very normal task. The company wants to send a ship of goods across the Strait. According to the normal voyage, they can return to the Federation in the third day at most.

However, after the anchor was lifted, the chief mate privately revealed that they might stay for another two days, mainly to help the local tourism industry.

As the recruitment is recognized as a legitimate and legitimate occupation in the local law of gavra, this law has been extended to the concession, and the recruitment in Amelia has also been legalized.

Regardless of the chaotic situation in the mainland for the time being, the stability of the port area is still guaranteed, which also makes the ports along the ammeria coast particularly prosperous and the tourism industry developed.

With a little money, you can not only enjoy the exotic amorous feelings of ameriya, but also find a local guide to learn geography.

"Fifty dollars for three days, any time!"

Everyone on the whole ship jumped for joy. For the crew, it may be a small benefit. Every place they went, they left a little bit of their own gene fragment to make outstanding contributions to the great integration of the world.

At noon, the ship was close to the middle of the Strait. Everyone had run this route without any risk, and there was no great change in the marine climate, so everyone was very careless.

It's probably like crossing a road. Who could have thought that something happened after crossing a road like this?

At more than one o'clock in the afternoon, everyone was sleepy. The sun shone on the deck to raise the temperature of the hull. The temperature and humidity were very pleasant. Most of the crew who had nothing to do had returned to the cabin.

For example, Connie, he changed his pajamas and lay in bed. With the shaking of the boat, the not too blazing sun shone through the glass boat in the cabin and fell on half of his face, which soon made him fall asleep.

Until

He was awakened by the butt of a gun.

Connie, who suddenly woke up, stood up like a drowning man. As a result, another butt of a gun came in front of him, hitting him with stars in his eyes.

Gradually there were voices in my ears, some shouting in panic, some roaring, some begging for mercy, and even gunshots.

The sunlight outside the cabin window was not so warm, and his brain was almost blank. Without any subjective consciousness, he went to the deck at the request of the pirates.

Yes, pirate, terrible pirate!

In this era, pirates are definitely the most troublesome existence on the sea, because there is no particularly reliable and practical early detection equipment. In addition, Shanghai pirates often try to attack first with cover colored boats. Once they do not notice that pirates are close, it is basically difficult for merchant ships to escape.

This time, too, a speedboat came up from behind, went up the deck from the side, and then this happened.

Connie squatted barefoot on the hot deck with the back of his head in his hands and pajamas. He kept moving his feet. After being exposed to the sun all day, he could slowly roast eggs on the deck at noon. He suspected that his feet were going to be cooked.

Not long after, all the crew members were rushed together. The captain was calm and stood aside with the chief officer. Some pirates with guns looked around, raised their weapons and hit the crew members who looked up with the butt of their guns from time to time.

"I'm sorry to inform you that this is bad news. You've been hijacked..." suddenly, a voice came out of the captain's room. It sounded a little strange. It didn't sound like a federal accent or a gevlar accent. It was a little like where it was, but it was a little different.

Almost all the languages used in the world are based on the standard pronunciation of international common language. On this basis, some pronunciation methods with local characteristics or some unique words are added.

It's not easy to tell where a person comes from simply by accent. At least you know, there is such a pronunciation in the accent you can clearly distinguish.

Connie has been spitting. He has been hurt twice, but his feet are so hot that he can only spit to wet the deck.

For him, if he really meets a robber who is unreasonable and kills indiscriminately, his resistance or honesty is of little value. He just wants to be a little more comfortable now.

"Who the fuck do you despise?", a robber suddenly hit Connie on the shoulder with the butt of a gun and glared at him.

The latter face of panic, I fucking dare to look down on who?

He wanted to say that, but reason told him that it was best to shut up at this time.

The robber pointed at him at the muzzle of his gun. "Be careful. If I find that you continue to spit at the leader when he speaks, I'll throw you into the sea."

After an inexplicable blow, Connie was honest. Although the soles of his feet still hurt a little, he could at least stop.

"... we have no intention of taking anyone's life. Our purpose is only ransom, money, okay?"

"Can someone tell me how much this ship is worth?"

A robber standing in front of the crowd whispered a few words with the captain. The captain didn't seem to cooperate very much, and then got a few fists. Then he bent down and said it in pain.

Connie squatting below thinks the captain is stupid. Anyway, he will admit it in the end. Why do you hurt yourself?

This is the difference between Connie and the captain. In fact, the captain doesn't know that he will admit it in the end?

No, he knows that he knows better than anyone what will happen if he doesn't cooperate, but he did so because he also needs to gamble, guarantee the bottom, and need something to turn the money back.

The robbers didn't hurt anyone after they got on board. As they said, their purpose is to pay ransom and don't want to hurt innocent people, which means that they have a great chance to leave alive, so they can climb along the pole and strive for something in the future.

When the company pays the ransom or anything else, as long as they leave, his image of resisting but losing to pirates will be publicized. Coupled with his subsequent dealings, at least he won't lose his job.

Capitalists are sometimes really cold-blooded, but sometimes they also need to take care of their own image, especially those listed companies. Ordinary retail investors seem weak and cuttable, but when retail investors unite together under certain circumstances, it will also be a trouble.

"Well, I will respect your rights, and I hope you can respect us." after watching the robbers on the deck make a gesture, the pirate leader seems to have figured out some things.

Under the coordination of the pirates, the cargo ship reopened, but this time their destination was no longer ammeria, but a place they didn't know.

On the third day, when the federal situation had begun to ferment, the freighter docked outside an island, and the crew were sent to the island. They also saw the pirate leader, a beard.

When he spoke, there was an inexplicable smell of fireworks, "friends, I hope you can cooperate, just like our relationship these days, no one was hurt!"

Then he let the crew kneel in a row. The Captain stood in front of a video recorder with a piece of paper in his nose and face. "I'm the captain of the... Ship... Our ship was hijacked by pirates about four hours after leaving the port. At present, we don't know where we are."

"The other party asked the company to pay a ransom of 16 million to redeem these goods, ships and all crew members."

"You have 72 hours. After 72 hours, the cargo on the cargo ship and us will sink to the bottom of the sea..."

……

"What do you think?", Mr. President sits in the lounge of the presidential palace, where there is a TV.

The room was full of people. People from the security committee, the military intelligence bureau, the Ministry of defense, shipping companies and motor manufacturers gathered here.

The video arrived yesterday, but the other party did not send it directly to the presidential palace, but sent it to all TV stations in batches.

Some TV stations may still be considering the impact and orientation, and they did not broadcast it for the first time, but when the first TV station was not afraid of death, people all over the Federation soon knew it.

This is definitely the first time in the history of the Federation!

In the past, there were merchant ships robbed by pirates, but most of them robbed goods and killed people. No one would take the initiative to ask for ransom.

This kind of behavior... People who make plans should go to the brain department. Don't they think about how to escape after they get the money?

It is precisely because of this that the president, cabinet members and everyone feel very fresh, and then there is tension and responsibility.

"Gentlemen, do you have any suggestions?" the president looked at the people in the room. "Shall we pay the ransom or refuse their request?"

As soon as he finished, Mr. Truman coughed, "sorry, I'll interrupt..." he went to the president, bent down and whispered in his ear, "the people won't want to see a president who casually gives up his national life, and their request is not impossible, just some money..."

When I heard this, I realized that there was no election from the beginning. Even if it was normal, there will be a fucking election soon.

At this time, if the news spread that the president allowed pirates to kill the crew in order to save ransom for capitalists, even if he could be elected, his re-election would be almost impossible.

In fact, people are like this. When they have no interest in themselves, people hope everyone can be rational.

But once the development of things has a clear relationship with themselves, people hope everyone can think more about themselves.

He turned and patted Mr. Truman on the arm. There was a trace of comfort in his eyes. "Fortunately, you reminded me..."
